Your router might be throttling the connection.

what do i do?

It could be a problem with the routes between your and their ISPs, there is very little you can do about it.

If your server is "hosted" you need to contact them. If your server is "home-hosted" you need to check your portforwarding. Also make sure you have a Dynamic IP address.

mine is home hosted and port forwarded right because then people would not be able to connect at all but its only some that cant see the server.

why would i want a dynamic ip ?

You don't want one, you need one. Basically, it doesn't let your IP address change, keeping the IP to your server the same too. You might already have one, but I am not sure.

You're getting confused between dynamic and static.

Am I? Isn't a Dynamic IP the same as a Static IP, people call it differently?
